FRCF: As we wrap up another successful Rugby and Multi-Sports Camp, generously sponsored by Wooden Spoon, the “Children’s Charity of Rugby,” we are thrilled to share the highlights of our October Half Term Camp. Over the course of four days, we had the privilege of hosting more than 40 children between the ages of 5 and 11, hailing from various areas in Blackpool, Fylde, and Wyre. During this time, the young participants not only had the opportunity to engage in rugby and sports but had the chance to learn the core values that underpin this great sport. The kids immersed themselves in a wide array of enjoyable sports, games, and activities, ranging from challenging obstacle courses to the creative activity of pumpkin carving. Thanks to the support and generosity of Wooden Spoon, we were able to grant 12 children a free place on our camp which included breakfast and a hot lunch. Amelia Bullock, our Rugby Development Manager, shared her excitement: “Once again, it has been fantastic to see the number of children enjoying and attending our half-term camp. They’ve taken part in so many different games and activities, including Halloween-themed arts and crafts! It’s great to see children from all different backgrounds come and experience rugby and many other sports for the first time, and I cannot wait for our next Winter Camp!”. Now, our sights are set on the next Rugby and Multi-Sport Camp scheduled for January 4th and 5th 2024.
